lU.S. Films May

Be Made Here

ATEW YORK. -Holly- I ?^ wood film companies

will watch closely to see how much they can save in mak-ing movies in Australia to

determine to what extent

they will break into the Australian production field.

One of the major reasons for their sudden interest (re-ports the magazine "Vari-ety") is the devaluation of the Australian pouijd.

Close attention is there-fore being given to two films now scheduled for produc-tion-Twentieth Century "The Australia Story" and Lewis Milestone's

?j "Kangaroo."

Another argument favour-ing Australian production to-day, adds "Variety," is that stars and production

crews can be flown to Aus-

tralia from Los Angeles in three days.
